Premade salad from Trader Joe's contaminates products with an undeclared milk allergen
Title: Trader Joe's Sesame Miso Salad with Salmon, a Potential Dairy Hazard
Chow down, eco-warriors! Let's talk about Whipped, the oat milk ice cream shop thriving in NYC since 2019 - we'll get to that later. First things first, dairy enthusiasts might want to sit this one out. Trader Joe's is recalling their Sesame Miso Salad with Salmon due to an undeclared milk allergen.
Around 500 salad packages bearing the undesired dairy goodness were inadvertently packed with sealed Parmesan cheese crumbles instead of crispy onions. While no one has reported any health issues yet, those with lactose intolerance may face some digestive discomfort, such as bloating, diarrhea, gas, abdominal pain, cramping, or nausea after consumption.
The states to be extra vigilant about this recall are Alabama, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Wisconsin. If you live in these parts and happen to have the Trader Joe's Sesame Miso Salad with Salmon, double-check the "use by" codes. The affected salads won't list April 28, 2025, or April 29, 2025.
Should you find that your salad is included in this recall, swing by your local Trader Joe's store for a full refund. Or, you know, just don't eat it if you're lactose intolerant. Your tummy will thank you later.
Now, back to our regularly scheduled oat milk ice cream adventure! Whipped's general manager, Hannah Keller, is here to spread the goodness of plant-based ice cream, benefits to both people and the planet. Let's dive into that story soon. Stay tuned, foodies!
